Max Architectural Design is fond of the small house - more affordable to build, easier to maintain and kinder to the environment. A small house can allow a budget for extra treats like a marble benchtop or special fire. Tiny Houses are pretty neat, but a small house (say 50- 100m2) can be a much better long-term investment . With escalating land and building costs, you might like to consider a small but perfectly formed house, over a larger home with spare rooms that are only used occasionally.
